It is increasingly receiving recognition as a summer home to Bollywood stars, politicians and bureaucrats, who find its wide-angle Himalayan (Dhauladhar) vistas quiet, relaxing and irresistible. Unlike Kasauli, Jagjit Nagar is much more serene and has dense forests. Accessibility from Chandigarh, improvement in local infrastructure, proximity to Kasauli, and friendly locals are some of the reasons why real estate is booming here. Land rates have seen a consistent annual spike of 300%. Some of the well-known names with private bungalows here include Deepa Mehta (the director of the movie Fire), Pickets "Rarewala House" and the heirs of Imperial Hotels. The main village has basic facilities like banks and shops. The area has one of the finest unobstructed views of the Dhauladhar Range, Greater Himalayan Range, Shimla, and Subathu on the northern side, and Nalagarh, Baddi, River Sutlej and its fertile plains to the south.
A short walk up from Sunset point you will find a trail leading to another viewpoint Gilbert Hill. It's not very famous and very few travellers actually go there. But the view from Gilbert Point is breathtakingly beautiful and in fact better than Sunset Point. Gilbert Hill is an army area though and you need to return from there by 18:30.
Situated about 1 km from the bus stand. Sunset point offers a magnificent view of the nearby hill regions. On a clear day, you may be able to view Chandigarh from up there.
